Important note for reviewers

Based upon feedback from our members we have decided to implement a review facility on the tastecard website. This is a great opportunity for you to share your experiences, both good and bad, with other members. Please familiarise yourselves with the below rules for placing reviews:

Whilst we will not modify your review, we will monitor all reviews. As tastecard is a co-operative with our restaurants, if a restaurant objects to a review we will remove it. Whilst this gives the restaurants the opportunity to remove any negative reviews, we will make it very clear to them that a balance of reviews will be relied upon and trusted more by our members and likely lead to more bookings for the restaurants. It is a fine balancing act between publishing as many reviews as possible and losing popular restaurants as a result of negative reviews.

Reviews must be based on the diner’s experience, not second-hand information or hearsay

Reviews written by ownership or management posing as guests will not be accepted. Current or past employees or anyone associated or related to employees of an establishment listed on our site are not allowed to post reviews

Please refrain from using personally insulting language, attempting a smear campaign or posting content that is irrelevant and unhelpful to other members

Questions or comments directed to or about tastecard staff or other tastecard members will not be posted

Commercial e-mail addresses and contact information are not allowed in reviews, nor is promotional material of any kind

Important note for restaurateurs

Based upon feedback from our members we have decided to implement a review facility on the tastecard website. This is a great opportunity for members to share their experiences, both good and bad, with other members. We believe that this is also a fantastic opportunity for our restaurants to assess feedback, and if necessary make improvements and take feedback on-board.
Previously, if members wished to review a restaurant they were likely to visit another website to do so. This may have meant that the reviews were less accessible to yourselves, as restaurateurs, and thus you would have been less likely to act upon the review, be it good or bad. By offering the review service on our site we believe that restaurants will benefit from having feedback from our members in one place.

If you object to a review on our site, we will remove it. However, our research has indicated that members are far more likely to visit a restaurant if there are a number of balanced reviews than if all reviews are positive. Please bear this in mind when reading the reviews; if a restaurant only has great reviews then our members are far less likely to trust the reviews and thus are likely to dine elsewhere.

Foody said:"Great Evening!

I went to this restaurant with friends and kids. Food was great and we tried a lot of dishes (and portions are good size)
The restaurant catered to the non Spicy request for my son's curry whilst our adult curries were all very flavoursome and authentic. The menu has a lot of options, pricing is good and the service was very friendly. Would definitely go again.

"I have been going to this restaurant nearly once a week, the customer service and food is excellent. It's like my second home they really take care of you compared to other restaurants I've been to at Brick Lane, to top it up they don't charge you for the service. The bill is always cheap as hell.

"Just came back, so thought I'd write this before I forget. After searching and ringing a few places finally decided on this restaurant, as a) they offer the taste discount during Ramadan, b) they had a high-chair available for the baby and c) although they didn't have a special iftar menu, they said they could put a iftar meal together for us. So I booked for 2 adults (me and my mum) plus my nephew who's staying round tonight to break our fast since Ramadan nearly over and we haven't gone out to eat once this time. We got there at 7pm, there were about three groups already so not too busy or too quiet. The venue isn't too big, but can accommodate, say a group of 4 easily, any bigger, would recommend reserving a place. Anyhow, they had our reservation on a card and seated us behind the wall, which I preferred over the window seat. We've only just seated and they've served our meal, plus orange juice (which had a sweet taste that suited me fine). The meal consist of a bowl of rice pudding (Kishori - bengali rice pudding is my best definition), and a plate with a date, chickpea and potato dish, plain puri, 2 slices of apples and 2 grapes. The portions weren't that big, but that was fine, after fasting for the day starting with a light meal is usually better. The baby was in a high-chair perfectly content. We had bought our own food for the baby, and was happy getting attention from anyone caught his eye. We had a 1ltr bottle of still water, and then ordered fish bhajee curry and white rice for mum, and mixed vegetable curry and white rice for myself. It did state on the menu, the fish may take time to cook, but it arrived before we even finished our starters. We did have to go up for some extra green chilli and lemon, but otherwise the service was very good, and attentive. I think the baby particularly liked one of the waiter who played with the baby whenever he was near our table. We couldn't finish off the fish curry so they packed it for us. The food was good, enough spice to suit my taste buds, though mum wasn't too keen on the peppers in the fish, felt that was unusual and unnecessary (sometimes mum's more of a fussy eater than I am). Perhaps we should have asked exactly what vegetables would be included in the dishes. The only thing I would mention was the table was a bit small. Perhaps it's ok for two people, but not so good if you're planning to order more than 2 dishes each. As we progressed the meal, the restaurant did get busier, which is a good sign I suppose. The bill came to £20 which included 50% taste discount (£16 off!) and £3 on the drinks/water. And they even called us a cab because my battery died at that moment (story of my life!) I would be happy to visit them again.
